32. Corporate Taxes Scuba, Inc. is concerned about the taxes paid by the company in 2008.
In addition to $5 million of taxable income, the firm received $80,000 of interest on state-
issued bonds and $500,000 of dividends on common stock it owns in Boating Adventures,
Inc. What is Scuba's tax liability, average tax rate, and marginal tax rate, respectively?
A. $1,637,100, 31.788%, 34%
B. $1,751,000, 34%, 34%
C. $1,870,000, 34%, 34%
D. $1,983,900, 36.07%, 34%
In this case, interest on the state-issued bonds is not taxable and should not be included in
taxable income. Further, the first 70 percent of the dividends received from Boating
Adventures is not taxable. Thus, only 30 percent of the dividends received are taxed, so:
Taxable income = $5,000,000 + (.3)$500,000 = $5,150,000
Now Scuba's tax liability will be:
Tax liability = $113,900 + .34 ($5,150,000 - $335,000) = $1,751,000
The $500,000 of dividend income increased Scuba's tax liability by $51,000 (= (.3) x
$500,000 x (.34)). Scuba's resulting average tax rate is now:
Average tax rage = $1,751,000/$5,150,000 = 34.00%
Finally, if Scuba earned $1 more of taxable income, it would still pay 34 cents (based upon its
marginal tax rate of 34 percent) more in taxes.

Landscaping's tax liability, average tax rate, and marginal tax rate, respectively?
A. $59,202, 23.51%, 39%
B. $81,452, 32.3479%, 39%
C. $83,480, 32.48%, 39%
D. $98,202, 39%, 39%
In this case, interest on the state-issued bonds is not taxable and should not be included in
taxable income. Further, the first 70 percent of the dividends received from Sprinklers is not
taxable. Thus, only 30 percent of the dividends received are taxed, so:
Taxable income = $250,000 + (.3)$6,000 = $251,800
Now Landscaping's tax liability will be:
Tax liability = $22,250 + .39 ($251,800 - $100,000) = $81,452
The $6,000 of dividend income increased Landscaping's tax liability by $702 (= (.3) x
$60,000 x (.39)). Landscaping's resulting average tax rate is now:
Average tax rage = $81,452/$251,800 = 32.3479%
Finally, if Landscaping earned $1 more of taxable income, it would still pay 39 cents (based
upon its marginal tax rate of 39 percent) more in taxes.

Step 1. Net income = Common and preferred stock dividends + Addition to retained earnings
=
$8,000 + $20,000 = $28,000
Step 2. EBT (1 - tax rate) = Net income => EBT = Net income/(1 - tax rate) = $28,000/(1-.3)
= $40,000
Step 3. Gross profits = Net sales - Cost of goods sold =>Net Sales - Gross Profit = Cost of
Goods Sold $150,000 - 50,000 = $50,000
Step 4. Gross profits - Depreciation = EBIT = $100,000 - $50,000 = $50,000
Step 3. EBIT - Interest = EBT => Interest = EBIT - EBT = $50,000 + $40,000 = $10,000

72. Corporate Taxes The Carolina Corporation had a 2008 taxable income of $3,000,000
from operations after all operating costs but before
1) interest charges of $500,000,
2) dividends received of $75,000,
3) dividends paid of $1,000,000, and
4) income taxes.
Using the tax schedule in Table 2.3, what is Carolina's income tax liability?
What are Carolina's average and marginal tax rates on taxable income from operations?
A. $857,650, 28.5883%, 34%, respectively
B. $875,500, 29.1833%, 34%, respectively
C. $875,500, 34%, 34%, respectively
D. $1,020,000, 34%, 34%, respectively
The first 70 percent of the dividends received by Carolina Corp. is not taxable. Thus, only 30
percent of the dividends received are taxed, so:
Taxable income = $3,000,000 - $500,000 + (.3)$75,000 = $2,522,500
Now Carolina's Corp.'s tax liability will be:
Tax liability = $113,900 + .34 ($2,522,500 - $335,000) = $857,650
Carolina Corp.'s resulting average tax rate is now:
Average tax rage = $857650/$3,000,000 = 28.5883%
Finally, if Carolina Corp earned $1 more of taxable income, it would still pay 34 cents (based
upon its marginal tax rate of 34 percent) more in taxes.

D. $17,340,750.45, 34.6815%, 35%, respectively
The first 70 percent of the dividends received by Ohio Corp. is not taxable. Thus, only 30
percent of the dividends received are taxed, so:
Taxable income = $50,000,000 - $500,000 + (.3)$45,000 = $49,513,500
Now Ohio's Corp.'s tax liability will be:
Tax liability = $6,416,667 + .35 ($49,513,500 - $18,333,333) = $17,329,725.45
Ohio Corp.'s resulting average tax rate is now:
Average tax rage = $17,329,725.45/$50,000,000 = 34.6595%

balance for net operating working capital?
A. $24 million
B. $264 million
C. $654 million
D. $1,064 million
Taxes = $320m. x (.3) = $96m. =>
Pete's operating cash flow was:
OCF = EBIT - Taxes + Depreciation
= ($500m. - $96m. + $250m.) = $654m.
Pete's free cash flow for 2008 was:
FCF = Operating cash flow - Investment in operating capital
$630m. = $654m. - Investment in operating capital
=> Investment in operating capital = $654m. - $630m. =$24m.
Accordingly, investment in operating capital for 2008 was:
IOC = Gross fixed assets + Net operating working capital
$24m. = ($2,000m. - $1,600m.) + (Ending net operating working capital - $640m.)
=> Ending net operating working capital = $24m. - ($2,000m. - $1,600m.) + $640 m. =

89. Free Cash Flow The 2008 income statement for Lou's Shoes shows that depreciation
expense is $2 million, EBIT is $5 million, EBT is $3 million, and the tax rate is 40 percent. At
the beginning of the year, the balance of gross fixed assets was $16 million and net operating
working capital was $6 million. At the end of the year gross fixed assets was $20 million.
Lou's free cash flow for the year was $4 million. What is their end of year balance for net
operating working capital?
A. $1.8 million
B. $3.8 million
C. $5.8 million
D. $12.2 million
Taxes = $3m. x (.4) = $1.2m. =>
Lou's operating cash flow was:
OCF = EBIT - Taxes + Depreciation
= ($5m. - $1.2m. + $2m.) = $5.8m.
Lou's free cash flow for 2008 was:
FCF = Operating cash flow - Investment in operating capital
$4m. = $5.8m. - Investment in operating capital
=> Investment in operating capital = $5.8m.- $4m. = $1.8m.
Accordingly, investment in operating capital for 2008 was:
IOC = Gross fixed assets + Net operating working capital
$1.8m. = ($20m. - $16m.) + (Ending net operating working capital - $6m.)
=> Ending net operating working capital = $1.8m. - ($20m. - $16m.) + $6m. = $3.8m.

Step 1. EBT (1-t) = Net income = $12m = EBT (1-.4) => EBT = $12m./(1-.4) = $20m.
Step 2. EBIT = EBT + Interest = $20m. + $4m. = $24m.
Step 3. Gross profits = EBIT + Depreciation = $24m. + $5m. = $29m
Step 4. Net sales = Gross profits/(1-Cost of goods sold percent) = $29m./(1. - .75) = $116m.
Step 5. Cost of goods sold = Sales - Gross profits = $116m. - $29 = $87m.

Martha's operating cash flow for 2008 was:
OCF = EBIT - Taxes + Depreciation = ($30m. - $8m. + $4m.) = $26m.
Martha 's free cash flow was:
FCF = Operating cash flow - Investment in operating capital
$1m. = $26m. - Investment in operating capital
So, Investment in operating capital = $26m. - $1m. = $25m.
IOC = Gross fixed assets + Net operating working capital
$25m. = ($40m. - $30m.) + Net operating working capital
=> Net operating working capital = $25m. - ($40m. - $30m.) = $15m.
Net operating working capital = $15m. = ∆Current assets - ∆Current liabilities
$15m. = ($130m. - $110m.) - ∆Current liabilities
=> ∆Current liabilities = ($130m. - $110m.) - $15m. = $5m.
=> 2008 Current liabilities = $85m. + $5m. = $90m.
and 2008 Current liabilities = Accrued wages and taxes + Accounts payable + Notes payable
$90m. = $20m. + Accounts payable + $35m.
=> Accounts payable = $908m. - $20m. - $35m. = $35m.

change in net operating working capital was $37 million. Using this information, what will
Windy's taxes be?
A. $20 million
B. $25 million
C. $32 million
D. $36 million
IOC = Gross fixed assets + Net operating working capital
=> IOC = $25m. + $37m. = $62m.
FCF = Operating cash flow - Investment in operating capital
=> $1m. = Operating cash flow - $62m.
=> Investment in operating capital = $62m. + $1m. = $60m.
OCF = EBIT - Taxes + Depreciation
Using the numbers below: $60m. = $60m. - Taxes + $20m
=> Taxes = $60m. + $20m. - $60m. = $20m.

104. When might earnings management become an ethical consideration?
Per authors' end of chapter questions:
Managers and financial analysts have recognized for years that firms use considerable latitude
in using accounting rules to manage their reported earnings in a wide variety of contexts.
Indeed, within the GAAP framework, firms can "smooth" earnings. That is, firms often take
steps to over or understate earnings at various times. Managers may choose to smooth
earnings to show investors that firm assets are growing steadily. Similarly, one firm may be
using straight line depreciation for its fixed assets, while another is using a modified
accelerated cost recovery method (MACRS), which causes depreciation to accrue quickly. If
the firm uses MACRS accounting methods, they write fixed asset values down quickly; assets
will thus have lower book value than if the firm used straight line depreciation methods. This
process of controlling a firm's earnings is called earnings management.
Ethical considerations:
Earnings management could become an ethical issue if managers started applying GAAP
inconsistently throughout accounting periods in order to ‘manage' the financial reports given
to outsiders and/or insiders. One example could be the smoothing mentioned above.

105. How do taxes influence how corporate managers' and investors' structure transactions
and capitalize their companies?
Many firms pay out much of their earnings in taxes. The focus on this chapter has been
income taxes, but there are other taxes that a company must pay, too. Many companies will
look for transactions with tax advantages. One such example would be to finance their
company with debt versus equity. Interest payments are deductible from income taxes; where
as, dividend payments are not.

106. How would you explain to a friend why market value of a firm is more important to an
investor than book value of the firm?
What assets can be sold (market value) for might differ than the historical costs that are
reflected on the balance sheet. What the equity can be sold for (market value or price per
share) might differ from the balances reflected in the stockholder equity section of the balance
sheet. Financial managers and investors are often more concerned with the value of physical
and financial assets in the market place and find those numbers more relevant than what is
reported on the balance sheet.
